Wondering if the fans ever come on during power nap, or if the comp builds up heat during the process? Because I typically keep my MBP in a case Im concerned about excessive heat or the fans sucking air and blowing out air against a case wall. Is there anything to be concerned about?

Thanks,
G

Apple says:
When Power Nap is turned on, your computer might be warm to the touch, even if it's sleeping. If your Mac exceeds a predefined temperature, Power Nap operations are suspended so that your Mac doesn't overheat.

The fans won't come on.

Pretty sure Power Nap only activates when your MBP is plugged in.
You can enable Power Nap on battery in System Preferences.
